The student will determine the spectral properties of 1D and 2D deterministic and stochastic signals using different base functions (Fourier analysis, wavelets) for multiple resolution. They will learn how to use multirate filter banks (for example, in methods of audio- and video-signal compression, ADSL transmission, etc.). They will also become familiar with linear prediction and cepstral analysis. They will program in the Matlab environment and use it for signal processing and system design.

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level with emphasis on digital signal processing is required. Furthermore, the basic ability to program in the Matlab environment is necessary.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Lab exercises are mandatory for successfully passing this course and students have to obtain the required credits. For computer lab tests they can get 30 out of 100 points. The remaining of 70 points can be obtained by successfully passing the final written examination.

The aim of the course is to present modern methods of digital signal processing that are based primarily on analyses of 1D and 2D discrete-time and digital signals and systems. Furthermore, the students will learn about parametric and non-parametric spectral analysis of stochastic signals and about mathematical statistics. They will use multirate digital filter banks for signal processing in practise.
